At the same time, the Chinese authorities are actively developing <a href="https://crypto.news/china-nears-end-of-its-multi-year-cbdc-pilot-ex-pboc-governor-says/">the digital yuan</a>. 
China <a href="https://crypto.news/china-accelerates-cbdc-pilot-with-cross-border-precious-metals-transaction/">has been testing</a> the digital yuan for three years. The tests occurred in Shenzhen, Suzhou, Xiong’an, Chengdu, Shanghai, Hainan, Changsha, Xi’an, Qingdao, Dalian and the Winter Olympics area. These cities will continue to use the tool.
